iPad, iPhone, notebook, Netbook: A gadget glut?

by Brooke Crothers What is the tipping point for having too many gadgets? Well, it depends. First, let me count the ways I can be connected: a couple of MacBooks, an iPad 3G, an iPhone 3GS, an old HP tower, and, if I need it, a BlackBerry Storm 2 (though Wi-Fi access only for the BlackBerry, as I recently discontinued service). That covers most of what I use everyday. (And I know people that add a Netbook to a similar mix of devices.) Of course, I got to this state of excess voluntarily. Nobody held a gun to my head. That said, on most days--in myriad ways I won't go into here--this entourage of devices enhances productivity and sustains the computer-related hobbies I have. But on the bad days it's get-thee-to-an-IT-department--at least, that's the feeling. Compounding glitches can hit critical mass in minutes. Read the complete article on CNET.com

Tweens get savvy with gadgets

Image
Tweens are more technologically savvy and count the internet as a source of happiness, research shows. Today's six- to 12-year-olds are laden with gadgets their older siblings could only have dreamed about – two-thirds of them own mobile phones and iPods. Almost half of the 1200 children who completed the Tween Tracker survey have Facebook profiles, despite being under the site's minimum age of 13. Two-thirds reported surfing the web without supervision. Social media expert Laurel Papworth describes Facebook as the online equivalent of a "keep out, I mean it!" sign on the bedroom door, allowing kids to shut parents out while sharing with friends – an enticing prospect at an age when they are developing their own identities. Parents failed to "make good arguments why one web page is better than another" and why internet use needed to be monitored. "Managing how they connect is a better option than saying 'don't connect at all'," she said

Are you Apple-compatible?

If aliens were to come and visit us one of these days, they would notice an endless number of peculiar things. One of them would be the long lines of people waiting outside Apple stores all over the Earth, itching to get Steve Jobs’ latest hot gadgets. We buy them as if they were just what we have been waiting for. We’re busy getting used to having the new technology in our hands every day, then we start pointing out the inconveniences of these gadgets that once seemed so perfect. We get tired of them. And right about then, yet another amazing device is introduced to us, and the whole process is repeated. This culture is perfectly fine, especially considering the unique characteristics of Apple products. For those who simply don’t get what the iPad is, one could explain that it’s basically a gigantic iPod Touch. For those unfamiliar with the iPod Touch, here are the basics that one must not leave out when discussing the iPad: First, you must know that when the device is turned off and

Among Atlanta AT&T gadgets, medical message in a bottle

Image
Sometime this fall, patients are going to head home from the pharmacy with a free, flashing, noisy tattletale of a pill bottle. The bottle will glow and ring aloud when it’s time to take a pill. And it will report slackers: A pill-skipper can expect at least one robotic telephone call per missed dose. Insurers, drug makers and pharmacies will pay for the bottle, on the grounds that it will keep people healthier and sell more pills. And benefiting quietly in the background will be Atlanta-based AT&T Mobility, whose wireless system supports the bottle's smarts. The dispenser is one of a group of products targeted by the company’s emerging devices team, in an effort to expand the reach of AT&T's wireless business. Connected devices such as the pill bottle are a different kind of business than traditional cellphone contracts. But the cellphone market is almost saturated, with brand new cellphone customers now few and far between. Connecting devices will allow AT&T to gr

Top 25 Android apps: The best of the best

Image
The Android Market may not have as many apps as the iPhone App Store yet, but there are still enough to be overwhelmed, and it’s growing at a breakneck pace. To help you sort through them all, here’s my list of the best apps I’ve found on Android. Again, remember that this is a snapshot in time. The Android platform is developing so quickly right now that I guarantee my home screen look different a month from now. The list 1. Google Voice Google Voice is a service that is so useful I consider it one of the top benefits of Android itself, especially since Apple rejected the Google Voice app for the iPhone. It gives you a phone number that can ring to multiple places or devices and it allows you to access all of your voicemail and text messages over the Web. The Android app integrates even deeper. It can make outgoing calls look like they’re coming from your Google Voice number so that you can keep your real mobile number private. 2. Advanced Task Killer One of the realities of having a

Apple Hires Expert on Mobile Payments

Image
Over the last decade Apple has expanded into a number of industries besides computers, including music, mobile phones, movies and books. Now Apple could be going after something else: cash. As first reported by Near Field Communications World, a trade publication, Apple recently hired Benjamin Vigier, an expert in the mobile payments industry who works with a technology called near field communication. According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr. Vigier is now Apple’s product manager for mobile commerce. Before joining Apple he worked with a company called mFoundry, developing mobile payment services for PayPal and Starbucks, and also worked on a project called the mobile wallet. Near field communication, or NFC, acts like the standard R.F.I.D. chips that are used to scan passports or credit cards today. When an NFC chip is placed within a short range of an NFC reader, the two gadgets can send small pieces of information back and forth. This can be used to perform simple credit transactions,

Survey: iPhone 4 'outperforming' other phones

Image
Despite "Antenna-gate," as Apple CEO Steve Jobs called it, the iPhone 4 is "outperforming almost every other smart phone in the industry in terms of overall customer satisfaction and meeting owners' expectations," according to a new survey by ChangeWave Research. Owners of the iPhone 4 also "report experiencing fewer dropped calls" than owners of the previous model, the iPhone 3GS, the firm said in a report Wednesday. And, although 20 percent of iPhone 4 owners "do say the antenna has caused them problems, by an overwhelming margin they are satisfied with Apple's solution " to provide $29 bumpers for the phones to customers for free. The research is one of the first looks at how the iPhone 4 is being viewed six weeks after it went on sale. ChangeWave surveyed 213 owners of the device. While most of the findings are positive — 72 percent say they are "very satisfied" and 21 percent "somewhat satisfied" with the iPhone 4

A Galaxy seizing the planet

Image
Samsung, one of the two largest South Korean electronics powerhouses, has become a mobile phone producer to be reckoned with. From time to time, Samsung creates products that grab our attention — and our wallets. Testifying to its growing strength in the smartphone industry, the Aug. 5 edition of The Korea Times reported Samsung will open its twelfth R&D center in Bangladesh next year, focused on software development in response to surging market demand for upgraded smartphone technology. The latest company flagship phone is the Galaxy S i19000, which was introduced during the CTIA 2010 event in the US. This particular line of smartphone has several slightly different variations of the same product. As CNet said last month, they come under different names, depending on where the product is purchased and the operating service. For example, AT&T subscribers in the US will be offered the Samsung Captivate Galaxy S, while other names include Fascinate, Vibrant and Epic. The Galaxy

Palm Pre Plus is currently out of stock on Verizon and AT&T online channels

Image
It seems that the Palm Pre Plus has been out of stock for quite some time over Verizon Wireless online and AT&T online channels. A quick check with brick-and-mortar stores on both carriers proved otherwise though, with plenty of the devices available if you decide to pick one up. While having a handset being unavailable online could mean that newer devices are in the works, this might just be a blip on either carrier’s part. Hopefully something new comes up from HP where a smartphone is concerned, but otherwise we will just have to wait for an official announcement from either party. If you’re the type who absolutely loves making online purchases and loathe brick-and-mortar stores, then best of luck in getting one from Verizon or AT&T over the Internet!

Luggage Tag USB flash drive

Image
Luggage tags are handy to allow your luggage easily identified, which you can have your name, addresses written on the tags. So while you’re little unfortunate, the luggage has gone missing at the airport, if there is a tag on the luggage, those who’ve found it would be able to contact you and send it back to you. But now, the luggage tag has been added with additional function besides simply tagging your luggage. It also doubles up as a USB flash drive that stores your data. So while you’re traveling, you can have this Luggage Tag USB flash drive to tag your luggage as well as carrying your data – it’s a little useful device that a frequent traveler should have. The Luggage Tag USB drive comes in bright color so you can easily spot your luggage from a distance.
